    $38 Cioppino Bowl and $34 Tuna Nicoise in the back
    Kseniya K.

    Super casual vibe with a pricey menu. Old style atmosphere & decor indoors (no one dining indoors during the summer) and super casual, no frills, simple wooden tables & chairs set up outdoors. BYOB. You can purchase alcohol at a store right next to the restaurant. Was expecting more from the food. This place is know for their fish and seafood, but I thought that the $38 Cioppino Bowl and $34 Tuna Nicoise were average. Tuna steak was a bland. Mash and veggies were standard. All the seafood in cioppino (except tough shrimp) was tender. The highlight of our experience was our waitress, who was the warmest staff person I've ever met. She was genuinely sweet and accommodating. So caring with menu recommendations, displaying pride in working at this establishment. She joked around with us, not rushing us to finish our meal, as we were the last guests on a Sunday night. Truly enjoyed our interaction with her. Live music was playing for a bit (a few guys sitting outdoors, entertaining people).

    This a nice local spot when inside you feel if you're in an old French Bistro. The service is friendly and the food is simple and delicious.

    Right by the Gowans BQE highway that's probably best to get there by public transportation and by foot so I think this place serves the local neighbors well. It is a small two store front place that has the ambience of a cozy thrift store. It has a collection of all sorts of items that sets off a bit of southern France. The menu is leaning more French but a little bit of northern Italian too. It was good and the best part is it is a BYOB place. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the service was great and I just wish I didn't have to drive around for 30 mins to find parking to come here. Next time we will know to leave the car at home.

    Coming here is always such a pleasant and low key impressive experience. Feels like sitting in someone's rustic French kitchen, with food that's simple and unpretentious but super fresh and perfectly cooked. The fish is always done perfectly and clearly high quality, and even the minimal sides -- some mix of sautéed veggies and mashed potatoes -- are truly perfectly cooked as well. A delightful not so hidden gem that feels like a hidden one!

    Forgot to take a picture of food but here's an eclectic moment. Just a cool place helmed by the legendary restauranteur knowns as Mr Fish. Not surprisingly, the fish is fresh and properly cooked, which puts this spot above and beyond so many others. Fried, curried, sauced, you'll love it. Appetizers and desserts are wonderful too. BYOB, cash only, don't ask for rice, and you'll be delighted.

    Great byob spot with classic french menu. The Cioppino is outstanding, same with the steak frite and the sea bass. Staff is friendly and the decor is really interesting. Highly reccomend

    Like Amelie came back from all her travels and decorated a restaurant with her souvenirs. In a good way! From the outside looking in, this is cozy dinner party you want to be invited to. No formal paper menus, only menus written on slate chalkboards hanging on the wall. They blend into decor, like sketch boards hanging in an artist's studio. The food featured seafood prepared with pan-European methods. Having come from a chocolate, cheese and cider tasting, we shared two orders of the Mussels Provençal and an order of their house Cioppino. The mussels were good but the cioppino stood out. They packed scallops, potatoes, plenty of mussels, and half a lobster into that bowl. Yummy tomato-based broth. Mmmmm. Thank you to the gracious staff who took care of our mess after we accidentally knocked a glass on the floor. Also this place is byob with a $6 corkage fee!

    Still one of the best places in the neighborhood. They now take cards too. Don't forget to bring cash to tip the musicians.

    Cioppino
    Doreen L.

    Petite Crevette is a small, adorable, tucked-away-next-to-the-highway French seafood restaurant in Carroll Gardens. Its BYOB. Yes! Cash only. Romantic cozy spot. Looks like someone's living room turned to a restaurant. The night we dined, the owner was our waiter. My husband ordered the branzino, which was cooked so the flesh was tender, flakey, well seasoned. The buttery potatoes that arrived with the branzino were addictive and creamy. He didn't want to share. My cioppino was rich medley of tomatoes, wine and briny seafood juices. The half lobster was so satisfying. We left extremely happy and our stomachs were content. I can't wait to return to try more of their menu.

    Roast cod with capers
    Ben L.

    More like a 3.5. It's a very neighborhood place. The place seems very French from the food to the staff. The place is tight and somewhat odd looking but that adds to charm of the restaurant. The food is not fancy, just really nice food made with care and attention to detail. The food: Roast Cod with Capers- it was good but it wasn't really an exciting dish. The flavors worked, but the fish was a tad over and somewhat chewy. The mash was ok, didn't really have a homemade feel, though. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=hiyERZzMM-ej33dN5-0oJQ Fresh Fried Oysters- the flavors of the oyster were fresh and tasty, I only wish the oysters were a tad crispier. The side salad was a nice palate cleanser. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=mziOPQKBF0kv5l1uLekDIQ Bouillabaisse- my friend order this and it looked amazing. I only tried the broth and it was pretty fanfuckingtastic.

    Menus on the walls were barely readable
    Win C.

    I like the concept of this place with regards to having menus posted along the walls, however, if you can't read them, it's really no use. They look like ancient scrolls along the walls and they were pretty (decoration wise) but not practical to be read. Maybe it would have been better if I wasn't seated at the corner of the restaurant where I had to turn my neck a lot to read the menu. Hope you're only bringing your love ones here because the place can be a little claustrophobic when it's busy. The tables were literally on top of each other so I won't be surprise if everyone is rubbing their shoulders and knees against you. Petite Crevette also appreciates the art i guess, they had a naked woman sculpture on the table that was looking at me during the entire dinner. (it didn't really bother me, but I just noticed it throughout my dinner). By the way, this place is CASH ONLY Food wise: +It's BYOB so that why this place is really popular. I'm more of a food kind of girl so this didn't apply to me, but I can see why everyone likes it. I think there is a $5 cork fees but I can be wrong. +Seafood Chowder was pretty good. It had chunks of fish and veggies in it. + Tilapia was pan roasted and it was kinda bland and overcooked based on my opinion. The mash potatoes were freshly made so that was good. +Mussels was probably the best dish of the night. They were fresh and plump! Wish there were more of a side dish included. -We didn't go for the desserts because they had a limited option. They had tarts and flour-less cake (which I'm not a big fan on) but go for it if you like.

    Red Hook Lobster Pound - What makes a lobster roll better? Bacon!

    I have lived in Brooklyn for 12 years, but never had dinner in Red Hook until this weekend…read more My friend was visiting, and she remembered vividly eating from the Red Hook Lobster Pound food stand in Union Square a few years ago. It made such a strong impression on my friend that she demanded we eat at this restaurant. The restaurant was packed, but we managed to get a spot at the bar and watch the Mets game. The food was immaculate, and we ordered the Hot Crab Dip, Garlic Biscuits, and I ordered "The Connecticut." All of this arrived in no time, and we will be returning soon, this time with a reservation. Hehehe.

It's got a solid, nautical feel that gives you enough brass and wood to feel like a real lobster shack. They've got a generous stretch of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice, and inside, the music sits at a good volume. Then comes the food. I started with the clam chowder. It's good ...comforting, rich, well-made ......even if it's a little light on the minced clams. I caught myself digging around with my spoon, searching for a few more chunks of clam in the creamy broth, but I forgave it because the flavor was fantastic. Main event: the Maine lobster roll. Now look, I've eaten lobster rolls all over the Northeast..and a few other places. When you order a lobster roll, you're looking for flavor and simplicity. Red Hook's roll is good. The lobster is fresh. But here's the thing: at an overall tab running around $80 a head, you expect a top-tier entry into the culinary lobster roll pantheon. Instead, it lands on the smaller side of the spectrum. Worse, the kitchen holds back on the seasoning. Lobster is sweet and rich, sure, but it needs a little help...... a hint of herbs, or just a generous hand with the salt/pepper to elevate it from good to great. It's a good roll, but when the check landed, I couldn't help feeling a bit let down. To finish, I looked at the dessert choices. Options were slim, but I ordered the flourless chocolate cake and it did the job. I'll definitely give this place a second visit and possibly try some of the other items on their menu.

We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner.

Every dish was incredibly unique, featuring exquisite flavors that truly "dance" on the palate. Squid (5/5): Cooked to absolute perfection, it was bouncy, chewy, and paired with a sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Steaklette (4.75/5): A fantastic dish. The sauce was once again the highlight, and it paired perfectly with the potatoes.

    Saint Julivert has been on my list since the moment it opened and I don't really have a good excuse…read morefor why I only visited for the first time last weekend. I told our server this when she asked if it was our first time dining here and she found it similarly puzzling. That said, this sentiment is one rarely expressed these days, as Saint Julivert's longevity puts it in what I'd imagine to be an exclusive, highly coveted class of restaurants that have stood the test of time in the face of changing trends, the pandemic, rent, etc. And perhaps more importantly, it has stood the test of time *and* maintained its high level of execution and quality. Saint Julivert is a neighborhood spot as memorable as it is unassuming. We came here at around 7:30pm on a Saturday night. I live quite far from Saint Julivert which is the main reason I hadn't gotten here before this past weekend. Luckily, a friend who recently moved to the area was having a party, describing the offered fare as "drinks and light bites" -- code for "not sufficient for dinner" and an opportunity to find a fun restaurant nearby to try beforehand. Walking up to Saint Julivert was a bit of a thrill for me -- both because of how long it's been on my radar and also because it's nestled on a block that otherwise seems completely residential. The space itself is much smaller than I imagined, very cozy, friendly, and down to earth. We had, in my opinion, one of the best seats in the house, which was a pair of high tops by the kitchen with loads of space for folks (read: us) who like to order a bunch of smaller plates to share. To start, we got a round of cocktails. I had to go with the Kanpai Martini (vodka, gin, shochu, cap corse, guindilla), as I pretty much always start with the martini if one is featured on the cocktail menu, and my partner got the Puerto Escondido (mezcal, beet, grapefruit, jalapeño) which is a super tasty spicy mezcal marg variation. I then tried the Diamond District (mezcal, persimmon liqueur, cocchi americano) which is a variation of one of my other go-to drinks, a white mezcal negroni. No complaints here. Food-wise, we obviously leaned into the seafood here heavily. Tried to sample as much variety as possible and I'd say we did a pretty impressive job. We weren't able to finish everything but we tried our very best. Truly everything was exceptional so my usual letter grades aren't all that necessary because it was As across the board. Eats, below: Amberjack w/ tomato water, crispy shallot, shiso oil Ideal first dish, definitely had some amuse bouche qualities, being both light and bright. The fish was incredibly fresh and the concept overall with sophisticated with use of texture and flavor that was impressive in its subtlety and execution. Chicory Salad w/ blue cheese, walnut, persimmon, coffee cider vinaigrette Our one veggie of the night and it was well worth our while, fresh winter greens with that tried and true blue cheese/walnut combo made unique by the coffee cider vinaigrette which emphasized the sweet and earthy notes of the dish and brought everything together beauitfully. Wild Shrimp w/ salted kumquat, poblano pepper, pomelo If I had to give an award to most unique of the night, it would have to go to this dish. I've had a dizzying amount of seafood over the years and I've been lucky enough try to a lot of different types of things in a lot of different types of ways and this one stands out. Something about the flavor and texture of the mostly-raw shrimp with the delicate and aromatic citrus elements. Just impossibly fresh, bright, and delicious. Octopus w/ pipián verde, roasted tomatillo juice, cucumber, serrano A preparation I'm used to seeing served warm but I enjoyed it cold just the same. The overall flavor profile was predictable but the elements contributing to it were less so. The green mole was delicious and overall this dish was a perfect bridge between the lighter and the richer, a segue so perfect it was as if it was divinely ordained. Squid a la Plancha w/ pine nut, maitake mushroom, tinta, poblano The first of two warm dishes we ordered. A nice complement to some of the lighter dishes we had earlier in the meal that were more aromatic/vegetal/gardenia vibes, this dish was earthier, more umami and grounding. Jerked Hamachi Collar w/ mango-pickle mayo, lime Hard to finish with this because it was probably the richest of the dishes and we were already somewhat full by this point, but I ate as much as I could because it was just that good. The mango-pickle mayo was just sublime, the fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned beautifully -- altogether a playful and powerful way to end the meal.

Before we ordered the Mother's Day special, I specifically asked the waitress if she would like her tip in cash and she said of course! The special was $95/person plus a 20% TIP ($38) which was $228! See photo below! We ordered some other items and the waitress gave me my bill for $252.86. We then drove 10 blocks to Chase to get out cash for her. I then noticed that I was charged $298.86. It was the $252.86 plus a TIP of $45.20! I immediately returned to discuss the discrepancies. The tip that was supposed to be $38 was now $45.20! The waitress then said she would credit my account. My question was how did this happen! All three waitresses stated it was not them and that the machine did this! How was this possible? Not one of them took responsibility for the discrepancies! Had I not looked at my bank statement then I would never have known that I would be tipping her twice! I then decided to leave to explain to my mom! Then the short Indian (I think) than sarcastically stated "Oh so now you're not going to tip us" Really! I drove 10 blocks and I NEVER ONCE STATED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO TIP HER! I merely was going to let my mom know what happened and then TIP her! Note* I was going to give her a $100 cash TIP! Had she given me the REAL receipt with the $45 TIP then I would have given her $50 CASH but since she only produced the REAL receipt after I came back (how ironic) and told her she charged the wrong amount, she would have received $100 TIP. But since the short Indian waitress made that slick remark, she did not receive anything! After the disrespect and blaming the machine and giving me a fake receipt? I decided to leave! If this is how you conduct business then you just lost a great customer! PS! The food was great!

I paired it with a side of their Cherry Rice, and I would've never thought to add cherries in rice... but let me tell you, this was easily my favorite dish of the night.. It added the perfect touch of sweetness to the savory rice, making every bite more elevated. To finish, I had their pistachio dessert served with a ladyfinger cookie, and it was the perfect light and creamy ending to an incredible meal. I would love to come back and order Rana's Table to get a sample of all they have to offer.If you're looking to try something beyond the usual dinner spots, Rana Fifteen absolutely deserves a spot on your list!

    My friend and I ate dinner at Rana Fifteen during a trip to Brooklyn. We went on a Friday evening…read morearound 8pm and were seated immediately without a wait. The inside of the restaurant is decorated nicely, however one of the lights above us was flickering for the entire meal which was annoying at first, but we eventually tuned it out. We both shared the Rana's Table. This was a really cool experience. This smorgasbord includes a sampling of 8 appetizers, 4 mezes, 1 entree, 1 side, and 1 dessert. For the entree we chose the Iskender Steak. For the side we got the Yogurt Potatoes. The dessert was chosen for us - some sort of pistachio mousse. All the food was good. Between the 8 appetizers and 4 mezes - some we loved, some were just ok. But a lot of that opinion is based on personal preference. If you're planning on eating here, bring your appetite and definitely consider the Rana's Table. Being able to try so many options all at once was a fun and unique experience. Service was good. Multiple staff checked in and took care of us.

    I'm lovin' the beachy vibes here at Brooklyn Crab, especially if you make it here for their happy…read morehour deals. The space is pretty big with two floors and various seating options. It's great for large parties with chill vibes that really make you feel like you're at a beach. Happy hour is from 3-6pm on weekdays and we got lucky coming here during that time. The husband enjoyed a nice, cold beer for $6 while I got the Peel N Eat Shrimp for only $10 on the HH menu. While the shrimp are on the skinny side, they were a good deal and got me pretty full. Definitely added some extra Old Bay seasoning on the shrimps. In addition, we ordered the Mac and Cheese ($12) and BKC Burger ($21) with Bacon (+$2). The Mac and cheese here are so cheesy and delicious, definitely a favorite as well. Such a great spot to hang out and enjoy some drinks and seafood. Even for my husband who doesn't eat seafood had a few options luckily. The servers were also very friendly and great vibes all around.

    Okay so I came here on the first 80 degree day of the season for the afternoon so when I say it was…read moreBUSY it was BUSY!! Regardless of the volume the outside bar had quick service on the drinks while we waited to be called for a table. It took about 1.5 hours for our table to be ready. Once seated the staff came to take our orders quick as this was a no nonsense day for them with every table full. We decided to on the Cajun seafood boil for 2 which was split between 4 people -- definitely enough food. The CRAB was out of this world some of the best dungeness crab I ever tasted. Lobster on point. I definately went to crustacean heaven. The price is hefty tho at 195. We also got the ahi tuna nachos which was a nice app and the lobster Mac and cheese. Definately coming back.

    We were able to get a reservation here for 530 on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy. I…read morereally liked the layout with the green tables and booths. The long mirrors on the walls made the space feel bigger and taller as well. First and foremost, I'm giving this place a 5 for the service as they really went above and beyond. It was not the occasional stop by to refill water and grab dirty plates. Our waiter provided great recommendations and offered me a small sample of a wine I had heard him recommend to another table after I had already ordered my orange wine. In terms of food, the bluefin tuna special was very fresh. We enjoyed the hush puppies and the swordfish belly. The fry basket had thin rectangularly shaped fries which were amazing. The only thing is I wish it came with more than two pieces of shrimp and two pieces of fish. The chargrilled oysters were also very good. Lastly they offered free bread pudding which was a perfect way to end the night.

    **** Update August 2026 ****…read more I can now confirm that there is nothing delightful about this place except for the lovely and attentive hostess who greeted me at the entrance. Wished I took her name to give her credit. (She had braids). That's where the praise for Strange Delight ends! I said I wasn't going to return but had a change of heart since I was in the area and was curious to see if they made any changes to service or quality of food. The only thing they changed was moving from BAD to WORSE. Coincidentally or not but I was seated at the same table as before and had the same server as before. Was the universe trying to tell me something? Perhaps! Just by chance, they had restaurant week options so I decided to go with that - 3 courses. The smoked trout and saltine crackers were extremely salty that I couldn't finish it. The basket of dried hushpuppies, and salty fried green tomato and fried shrimp were no bueno! Couldn't finish that either. I'm unsure if me placing my plates with the two courses to the opposite end of my table was an indication that I was still eating because my server passed me several times without bringing my 3rd course. I waited, and waited and waited until I was tired of waiting. It wasn't until AFTER I asked for the check that the server brought my 3rd course stating that the kitchen just sent it out. He then proceeded to ask if I would like to take it to go - of course I said yes. Just like my previous visit, he offered a complimentary shot which of course I declined. Just give me my check and let me go! This place is Strange and Undelightful. Never again! *** Came hope to open my take away 3rd course Salty!! (Whyyyyyyyyy)? The complimentary bread pudding had hair (looks like an eyelash) in the box. You CAN'T make this stuff up!
